It started as a thread from Christopher Doering - a couple of suggestions a prompt:

"Hello.

I was wondering what "ODC" is all about. And how to describe it in two or three words. Clear, unmistakeable and unique. It order to communicate to the outside and the inside world. Something like a brand name and a tagline.

Proposals include:

Open Design City - Creative WorkshopOpen Design City - a space to create and shareODC - ProduktionswerkstattODC- Make something happen

Monday's the regular date for tinkerers, Arduino enthusiasts and DIY artists at Open Design City.

So, we're open from 7:30 pm (no admission) for you to bring your ideas and projects (finished or not) and meet other creative people and share your knowledge.

Every Monday night, 7:30 pm at Open Design City (betahaus, Prinzessinnenstraße 19-20).

The future will see more special nights and workshops. Also, Open Design City is still being built by its inhabitants. So if you want to get creative space-wise and wield some power tools, come by Monday night!
